Infant
Circumcision: "What I Wish I Had Known"
by Marilyn Fayre Milos R.N., Director of NOCIRC
I didn't know what circumcision was when I consented to have my three
sons circumcised. My doctor had told me the surgery was a necessary health
measure, that it didn't hurt, and that it only took a moment to perform...
like cutting the umbilical cord, I thought. I certainly wasn't prepared
when, in nursing school several years later, I saw the surgery for the
first time.
We students filed into the newborn nursery to find a baby strapped spread-eagle
to a plastic board on a counter top across the room. He was struggling
against his restraints—tugging, whimpering, and then crying helplessly.
. . . I stroked his little head and spoke softly to him. He began to relax
and was momentarily quiet. The silence was soon broken by a piercing scream—the
baby’s reaction to having his foreskin pinched and crushed as the doctor
attached the clamp to his penis. The shriek intensified when the doctor
inserted an instrument between the foreskin and the glans (head of the
penis), tearing the two structures apart. (They are normally attached to
each other during infancy so the foreskin can protect the sensitive glans
from urine and feces.) The baby started shaking his head back and forth—the
only part of his body free to move—as the doctor used another clamp to
crush the foreskin lengthwise, which he then cut. This made the opening
of the foreskin large enough to insert a circumcision instrument, the device
used to protect the glans from being severed during the surgery. The baby
began to gasp and choke, breathless from his shrill continuous screams.
How could anyone say circumcision is painless when the suffering is so
obvious? My bottom lip began to quiver, tears filled my eyes and spilled
over. I found my own sobs difficult to contain. How much longer could this
go on? During the next stage of the surgery, the doctor crushed the foreskin
against the circumcision instrument and then, finally, amputated it. The
baby was limp, exhausted, spent." more

Infant
Responses During and Following Circumcision
Excerpt from CIRCUMCISION RESOURCE CENTER at www.circumcision.org
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves forcefully separating
the foreskin from the glans and then cutting it off. It is typically accomplished
with a special clamp device. Over a dozen studies confirm the extreme pain
of circumcision. It has been described as “among the most painful [procedures]
performed in neonatal medicine.” In one study, researchers concluded that
the pain was “severe and persistent.” Investigators reported, “This level
of pain would not be tolerated by older patients.” more
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You
About Circumcision: Untold Facts on America's Most Widely Performed-and
Most Unnecessary Surgery by Frederick M. Hodges, Paul M., M.D. Fleiss
In the easy-to-read format the What Your Doctor May Not Tell You series
is known for, this book explodes the many myths and misinformation about
circumcision, which is the most widely performed surgery in the United
States today. From information about penile anatomy to the various health
risks related to the surgery to debunking all six of the most common arguments
doctors use when recommending circumcision, WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL
YOU ABOUT CIRCUMCISION lays out parents' options, and provides a helpful
list of questions they should ask before making that very important decision
for their baby.

General description
(with pictures) of the two most-used methods of infant circumcision: the
Gomco Clamp and the Plastibell.
Circumcision,
The Hidden Trauma : How an American Cultural Practice Affects Infants and
Ultimately Us All by Ronald Goldman
"Any reader may expect to be struck in the early pages by Goldman's
effective blend of emotional insight and objective fact, the latter documented
throughout the book by hundreds of footnotes. As Goldman continues, he
effortlessly distills and integrates decades of research on infants and
children. I appreciated his excellent summaries at the end of each chapter.
Particularly valuable was the list on page 74 of the many similarities
and the few differences between circumcision and female genital mutilation.
Have you ever wondered whether America's high rates of violence may
be related to our high circumcision rates? Goldman has done more than wonder;
he has extensively researched the possibility, although he is always careful
to add cautionary statements that at most, circumcision is one of several
factors affecting American men's (and women's) lives.
Goldman has an impressive ability to continue to generate and synthesize
new insights and questions throughout the book. Although circumcision is
often done so that the child does not have a different genital status from
his father, is it actually the PARENT'S fear of difference which is apparent
here. Is it possible that sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is actually
infant suicide? Goldman relates circumcision to other problematic American
birth practices such as birth with the mother on her back, use of drugs,
forceps deliveries, routine episiotomy, and cesarian births. He includes
an admirable short section addressing the interrelationship of social problems
and noting the possible connection of circumcision trauma to the epidemic
divorce rates. Equally unforgettable are sections in which men circumcised
as adults speak about their incalculable loss and in which Goldman addresses
the disruption of the infant/mother bond.
Goldman concludes his masterful work with a truly stunning series of
innovative meditations, each three or four insight-filled pages long. These
address 1) the American motivation to circumcise (our lack of awareness
is alarming; the use and exclusion of certain words helps to maintain support
for circumcision); 2) science and medicine (flawed studies are the rule
not the exception, and doctors tend to MEASURE rather than to FEEL pain);
3) ethics and medicine (isn't it the medical profession's responsibility
to LEAD rather than FOLLOW community health care standards?; since when
does a trained surgeon take the advice of laypeople as to whether he or
she should operate?); 4) cultural and social perspectives (we can circumcise
our sons because we are so alienated from each other); 5) hope for healing
(no matter how "bad" our feelings are, expressing them feels good); 6)
preventing future harm (taking action to prevent others from being victimized
aids one's own recovery). Goldman closes his book by reminding us that
to think that newborn infants can be subjected to circumcision without
an impact on them or others ignores the interconnnectedness of all life.
When a baby's sexuality is not safe, no one's sexuality is safe.
Goldman's conclusions and speculations regarding the possible connection
of circumcision to high levels of American violence remain compellingly
plausible." an amazon.com reviewer
Historical Medical
Quotes On Circumcision
In order to get an accurate picture of circumcision, one must not only
look at what doctors and parents have to say today, but what they've said
in the past - especially WHY they said it, historically. Each section deals
with a different issue concerning circumcision; to each of these I've added
many quotes to help elaborate.
Questioning
Circumcision : A Jewish Perspective by Ronald Goldman
"Having chosen not to circumcise my son, and being an observant Reform
Jew, I found Doctor Goldman's book to be incredibly instructional. He opens
the door to a thoughtful introspection on the question of circumcision
in the Jewish world. A difficult, almost taboo subject, we find that Jews,
as a constantly evolving and forever questioning people, need to look circumcision
in the face and sincerely question its validity. Circumcision continues
to be performed even if there are many reasons for one not to practice
it. Goldman's precise examination of circumcision brings us to question
not only the Historical and religious aspects of this tradition, but also
to look at the medical and sexual facts. Finally, the author exposes the
psychological and ethical consequences of such an act. For example: are
we ethically entitled to alter the genitals of our infant sons? Have they
given us permission to do so? What psychological consequences can circumcision
have on these infants? How about their mothers? What do men who were circumcised
as adults have to say about the psychological and sexual changes they experienced?
A professional and thorought examination, "Questioning Circumcision, a
Jewish Perspective" is a brilliant analysis that one will find extremely
educational and...easy to read!" an amazon.com reviewer
Complications
of circumcision
"Williams and Kapila estimate that a realistic rate of complications
from neonatal circumcision ranges from 2% to 10%. To many men who become
aware of the function and value of the prepuce, the fact that this genital
sensory organ was amputated from them at birth is itself a complication
of circumcision; in which case, the actual complication rate is 100%...
For males fortunate enough to survive the surgery without immediate complications,
there is a growing awareness among men of other delayed, long-term consequences
of neonatal circumcision, which are only now beginning to be documented.
"
Paul M. Fleiss, MD - "It seems absurd that
today we choose to mutilate a significant percentage of our newborn infants.
As a young medical student in the 1960s, I learned the technique of performing
the surgical procedure of male circumcision. It was not difficult to learn
this procedure, and I very rapidly became expert at removing the foreskin
from a newborn. I was able to do circumcisions in a very short amount of
time -- four or five minutes. I did this at the parents' request, and I
was oblivious to the infant's cry.
Several years later into my pediatrics career, after having performed
perhaps a hundred circumcisions, I became aware of the newborn's pain that
I had somehow managed to put out of my consciousness. I now know that every
baby that I circumcised cried and that I never responded to their pain.
I then decided I was on their side; my job was to protect babies, not harm
them. It was only then that I began my study of the foreskin, how it is
unlike any tissue found elsewhere in the human body and accordingly, has
special functions. The doctors and others performing this procedure on
newborn babies do not know the pain they are causing nor do they appreciate
the functions of that unique bit of tissue." more
Circumcision
Exposed : Rethinking a Medical and Cultural Tradition by Billy Ray
Boyd
"It's about time that this cruel practice was put in its place
- in the history books (as far back in the history books as possible).
This book goes a long way to helping us find ways to overcome the pressures
of conformity and tradition. I can't believe there's still controversy
over circumcision - something so obviously wrong that it pains me to think
that supposedly intelligent people are still perpetrating this mindless
abuse on their own children even as we move forward into the 21st century.
To the religion argument: If God wanted men to be circumcised, we'd have
been born without a foreskin. To the medical argument: If it ain't broke,
don't fix it. When will doctors start practicing what they're taught -
"First, do no harm". amazon.com reviewer, Ian Cooper from
Boston, MA
The
Circumcision Decision: An Overview
Quite a number of famous child care experts and doctors recommend against
circumcision in their books. Sheila Kitzinger very emphatically recommends
that parents leave their sons intact. Dr. Lendon Smith goes into detail
explaining the foreskin’s purposes and giving all the reasons why circumcision
should not be performed. Dr. Spock, in his most recent book, stated “I
feel that there’s no solid medical evidence at this time to support routine
circumcision.” He recommends “leaving the foreskin the way Nature meant
it to be.” Penelope Leach also recommends against routine circumcision.
Circumcision:
A History of the World's Most Controversial Surgery by David L. Gollaher
More than a million infant boys are circumcised every year in America,
the highest occurrence of this procedure in the world. Why? Out of sheer
cultural habit, concludes David Gollaher in his groundbreaking study.
American medical profession credited circumcision with exaggerated health
benefits. Circumcision would eventually turn into a mark of class distinction,
and the surgery would become entrenched in modern medical practices, despite
scant study of its benefits, dangers, or side effects. Gollaher is to be
commended for maintaining an even perspective on a practice that is sure
to become increasingly controversial; he allows the research itself to
fascinate and illuminate. As expected, there are many unsettling graphic
descriptions in this book, but its most horrifying revelation is its most
casual: the incontrovertible fact that circumcision remains the least understood--yet
most widely practiced--surgery in the United States.
PROTECTION
OF MALE INFANTS IN AMERICAN HOSPITALS FROM UNWANTED CIRCUMCISION
"Parents should carefully consider the advantages, disadvantages, and
risks of both non-circumcision and circumcision for their son well before
the due date. Parents will be given little time at the hospital to make
up their minds on a complex matter that will affect their son for all of
his life. This file is addressed to the needs of parents who do not wish
the surgical procedure of circumcision performed on their son. "
There are many reports of boys being circumcised in hospitals in the
United States against their parents' wishes.
DOCTORS
OPPOSING CIRCUMCISION (D.O.C.)
"D.O.C. is an organization of physicians, and others who are opposed
to routine neonatal circumcision. D.O.C. has members in 50 States, 10 Canadian
Provinces and 2 Territories, and several other countries. These doctors
recognize that no one has the right to forcibly remove sexual body parts
from another individual. They also believe that doctors should have no
role in this painful, unnecessary procedure inflicted on the newborn."
What
you Need to Know about Anesthesia and Pain from Circumcision
by Mary G. Ray
Many parents believe their child can be protected against the pain of
circumcision through the use of anesthesia, but there is no pain control
method that is 100 percent effective. All infants suffer during and after
the procedure. There are risks from anesthesia and there are risks if anesthesia
is not used. If a baby is left intact, he is not subjected to any of these
risks.

Circumcision
Facts On-Line
Most have been told that circumcision does not cause any harm to the
male. A good majority of males and females have little idea of the benefits
afforded by the penis and the consequences of surgical alterations to it.
This is a must read for both men (intact or circumcised) and women.
Why
Doctors will Stop Performing Circumcisions
"Already, an evergrowing number of physicians are opposed to routine
neonatal circumcision. These doctors recognize that no one has the right
to forcibly remove sexual body parts from another individual. They recognize
that doctors should have no role in this painful, unnecessary procedure
inflicted on the newborn."

Sex
As Nature Intended It : The Most Important Thing You Need to Know About
Making Love, but No One Could Tell You Until Now by Kristen O'Hara,
Jeffrey O'Hara
This landmark book is the first to detail the many sexual functions
and benefits of the male foreskin for both the man and his female partner.
It presents unequivocal evidence that the foreskin plays a multifaceted
role during intercourse that not only promotes increased sexual pleasure,
but this enhanced pleasure also serves to enrich and continually re-cement
the love bond, borne from sexual union.
Circumcision's removal of the foreskin (ultra-erogenous tissue and the
penis's only moving part) not only diminishes the man's sexual pleasure,
but also the woman's. A national survey of women, conducted by the author,
reveals that circumcision abnormalizes the way the penis thrusts and feels
to a woman, significantly diminishing her sexual enjoyment and her ability
to achieve orgasm from intercourse. The book's explanations of the profound
negative effects circumcision has on the intercourse experience of both
partners will surely leave America stunned. But luckily, there is a bright
side to this shocking news: It is now possible to restore the foreskin
through various non-surgical techniques. The book addresses this topic
and enwraps the emerging movement for foreskin restoration with hope, promise,
and dignity.

"The drugging of children has gotten so out of hand that America
is waking up to this. This is a national catastrophe. I'm seeing children
who are normal who are on five psychiatric drugs."Peter
R. Breggin, M.D. Director, International Center for the Study of Psychiatry
and Psychology
Treating mental disorders as chemical imbalances to be corrected primarily
by chemical intervention is, claims Dr. Breggin,
an outrageous hazard to health, damaging the brains of a high percentage
of those subjected to it. Breggin notes that the medical training of today's
biopsychiatrists ill-equips them for any other approach: They are taught
to make diagnoses and prescribe medical treatments; their communication
skills are undeveloped, and they know little about the art of listening
to patients' problems. Their penchant for prescribing drugs, according
to Breggin, is encouraged by a too-cozy relationship between the medical
profession and the pharmaceutical industry, which generously funds research
into the biochemical and genetic basis of mental disorders, and whose claims
for its products are insufficiently scrutinized by either the FDA or the
medical profession. Issuing a passionate, much-needed wake-up call for
everyone who plays a part in America's ever-increasing dependence on harmful
psychiatric drugs, a psychiatrist breaks through the hype and false promises
surrounding the "New Psychiatry" and shows how potentially dangerous, even
brain-damaging, many of its drugs and treatments are.

of the patient. Manufacturing Victims: What The Psychology Industry Is

Transfer Factor in Pediatrics
David Markowitz, M.D. - a general pediatrician for more
than 20 years. and a pediatrician in Kennebunk, Maine with a patient base
of 4,500 children, is conducting an ongoing retrospective study of patients
who are consuming transfer factors."I have now completed a retrospective
study comparing children in our practice who did not use transfer factors
during the same period. 87 children, age 8 months through 9 years, used
transfer factors. We found 74% less reported illness and 84% less reported
use of antibiotics. " Thousands of testimonies reinforce these results!
transfer factors enhances the immune system. The immune system is the key.
"A 17-month-old toddler come to the pediatric office with a complaint
of three days of fever, poor sleeping and poor feeding, associated with
a week's congestion and cough. He is diagnosed as having his fifth ear
infection in 5 months and is sent home on this fifth 5-10 day course of
antibiotics and anti-cough and cold medication. This time, he doesn't tolerate
his meds well, with multiple diarrhea stools, a yeast dermatitis, and a
hive-like rash, necessitating a change in antibiotics, bowel rest, and
an antihistamine for his hives. Three days later, and five days out of
Daycare, with parents missing four days of work, our little patient is
finally better. Consumption of transfer factors is started by his parents
(out of pure frustration and worry) at low daily dosing (1 cap/day). Two
weeks later, he arrives at our office with a cold, but nothing more. Three
months later, we see him for a well child visit, with amazed and delighted
parents. A year later, another well child visit and no reported illnesses.
This is an everyday occurrence in our Pediatric office… This is the real
power of the immune boosting with transfer factors, and we have now seen
this for two full consecutive "sick seasons" in this General Pediatric
office."
"A newborn with a serious cold took transfer factors through
pumped breast milk and recovered in 3 days."
''As a practicing pediatrician, I actively use transfer factors
in my practice and look forward to drastic decreases in the number of colds
and their complications and middle ear infections that are so common. Of
the approximately 70 kids under my care and taking transfer factors,
only one has been back that required antibiotics."
"...I find that children in my care are thriving with transfer
factors. I have seen success with middle ear infections, upper respiratory
infections and several other repeated infections."
